Top Ten Most Underrated Albums

The Top Ten
1 A Thousand Suns - Linkin Park

This is the only Linkin Park album that's worthy of being associated with what is supposedly (according to this website) one of the greatest alternative bands of all time. It's intelligent, it's forward-thinking, it's thought-out, this album is an absolute gem and too often I see it criticized for miniscule things like "why are the interludes their own tracks? " and "it's slower and has an electronic edge so it isn't good," completely missing the wonderful coherency and apocalyptic feel that is brought to the table through great songwriting and overall development and production of the album. You don't have to like it if it isn't your thing, but this album absolutely knocks it out of the park and deserves to be hailed as one of the defining greats of the 2010s.

This album is bad? Bitch please, first of all "Waiting for the end" one of the best songs they made. "Blackout" is just awesome so much energy. "Iridescent" phenomenal. "The catalyst" is a awesome song. "Burning in the skies" listened to it a thousand times. "The messenger" calm song with a lot of energy. A Thousand suns is a bad album? I THINK NOT.

2 Between the Buttons - Rolling Stones
3 Monster - R.E.M.
4 Presence - Led Zeppelin

Achilles Last Stand is what everyone calls amazing.
For Your Life - A great rocking song.
Royal Orleans - It’s good, but not great.
Nobody’s Fault But Mine - One of the best Led Zeppelin songs.
Candy Store Rock - An underrated 50s-style song.
Hots on for Nowhere - Not great, but better than Royal Orleans.
Tea for One - Superior to Since I’ve Been Loving You.

Of course the least overrated Led Zeppelin album would be on this list.

There is a separate list for underrated albums by famous bands

5 Nighthawks at the Diner - Tom Waits
6 Smiley Smile - The Beach Boys
7 Brave - Jennifer Lopez
8 Communiqué - Dire Straits

Love this album

Has some of mark knopfler's best guitar work

9 Animals - Pink Floyd

This Pink Floyd album, along with Meddle, deserves just as much recognition as the Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and the Wall!

YES! All the songs are very deep and interesting,the riffs and keyboards are very well developed from Wish You Were Here,and there are some amazing solos (check out all the solos in dogs).

You think this is underrated? Check out Obscured by Clouds. Oh wait, you don't even know what it is.

10 Little More Personal - Lindsay Lohan
The Contenders
11 Blackout - Britney Spears

Just because this album is released in her worst times doesn't mean everyone would not give a try listening to it...

It's a pop masterpiece. Pop spent the next five years trying to catch up to this future.
The album ahead of it's time.

12 Couldn't Stand the Weather - Stevie Ray Vaughan
13 Wheel of Time - Sandra

Sandra always was a very unique and deep artist. 'The Wheel of Time' is one of the her greatest works to date

14 St. Anger - Metallica

Drum sound is bad. Do I care? NO.
Vocals are bad. No they're not!
No guitar solos. Nu metal is like that.
But I don't like nu metal! At least it's heavy unlike Load/Reload! Anyway, I thought you liked Slipknot...
See, if you listen to the album PROPERLY, then you'll find:
A guitar solo ish from Some kind of monster,
Kickass riff from Sweet amber,
St. Anger's awesome chorus,
And from all that, you'll probably like All within my hands, a criminally underrated song.
Not my favourite album from Metallica, but way better than Load/Reload!

The worst Metallica album to me, but still a good album, all people do is say this album is terrible, it's not better than MoP or RtL, but still a good album...

2nd worst Metallica album (reload)
But at there worst its still a good album

15 Fandango! - ZZ Top
16 Tu Veneno - Natalia Oreiro
17 The Final Cut - Pink Floyd
18 The Bridge - Billy Joel
19 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Soundtrack - The Sherman Brothers & Irwin Kostal
20 Deep Purple in Rock - Deep Purple

It has Child in Time which is well known among most rock fans, but other than that it is not that well known I think. Some people may remember it as the album that influenced metal and hard rock

I didn't know that this was underrated.

One of the best albums of all time.

21 The Ultimate Sin - Ozzy Osbourne

So many great songs that never got play time, fool like you, secret loser, the ultimate sin, and never

My second favorite Ozzy album.

22 Chinese Democracy - Guns N' Roses

Considering that no-one bar Axl and his dog actually cared that this was even released, you were hoping that it might be marginally better than UYI 1 but not approaching UYI 2 or AFD. It's better than those two. It's a masterpiece. Not a bad song and Prostitute may be the best Guns N' Roses song ever.

the band was better with Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven (or even Matt), but this album is really great! Chinese Democracy, Better, Shackler's Revenge, This I Love, Street of Dreams...

don't believe in those haters that this album is a flop, not at all, selling 2 million albums worldwide. today sales are much affected by downloads this album is a masterpiece. try it

23 At the Edge of Time - Blind Guardian
24 Pure Gold - Glenn Miller
25 In Utero - Nirvana

This album is purely grunge, Nevermind was more of a hard rock type
